Dream Big, Live Tiny

Have you ever dreamed of living on a tropical island in a treehouse like Robinson Crusoe? It’s a dream many of us have imagined. Kristie Wolfe bought land in Hawaii sight-unseen for just $8,000. A year later, with the help of her mother, she built her bamboo treehouse. It took two months and $11,000 to build initially. Now the home is available to rent on Airbnb.com.

Sara & Alex live and work full time on the road in their Sprinter van conversion. They built it themselves and started with a used van that had only about 55,000 miles on it. The van initially cost about $25,000 to buy and $14,000 and 3 months to finish. Read about all the van build details on the 40 Hours of Freedom website.

Inside they have a wet bath with a shower & toilet, a fully functional kitchen, a large table that quickly converts into a large bed, and tons of storage. I especially like how they finished the van off inside – white with wood accents really brightens it up inside. Their van started as a passenger van, so it has lots of windows too.

It has a lower level bed which is hidden behind sliding barn doors and a sleeping loft accessed by a staircase. It has a fully functional kitchen, laundry, and large bathroom. It even has a roof deck accessed by an exterior ladder.
